Remember to sign the ships log and say hello to Nick, the Keeper of the Phlock.
All members that donate
something should put a check mark next to their name on the sign in sheet. Name badges are required.
Members will be fined $1 for not wearing their name badge. This fine will be collected on the night of
the happy hour. If you happened to have lost your name badge, no problem, just talk to Nick!

There will be lots of PHun and prizes, including our 50/50 Raffle. If not buying $20 in raffle
